Although the studs can be cut off easily, this heater tube comes with 2 studs, 1 on top and 1 below to enable it to be easily fitted inside the controller box.

This heater tube is factory made and comes complete with a new 3kw element and a matching pair of Balboa 12" M7 sensors, it is made from Titanium, which means it can withstand even the harshest chemical, pressure and heat environments.

When replacing an heating tube for anything except its age please remove the cause of the fault, i.e. wrong chemicals being used incorrectly or restriction of water flow (blocked filters or pump failure)
